Waebulaniya 11
1 Vinu njimiru ndo kuwera na unakaka kwa vitwatira vyatulitumbira, kuvimana kwa unakaka vitwatira vyatuviwona ndiri.
Now, faith is the confidence of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen.
2 Kwa njimiru, wazewi wa makashu wajimiritwi na Mlungu.
By this, the ancients obtained reputation.
3 Kwa njimiru, twenga tuvimana handa pasipanu panyawitwi kwa shisoweru sha Mlungu, su vintu vyaviwoneka vilawiti muvintu vyaviwoneka ndiri. (aiōn g165)
By faith, we understand that the worlds were formed by the word of God; so that the things which were seen, were not made of things which do appear. (aiōn g165)
4 Kwa njimiru Abeli kamlaviliriti Mlungu tambiku yaiweriti iherepa kuliku ilii ya Kaini. Kwa njimiru yakuwi, kajimiritwi na kuwera yakamfiriziya Mlungu toziya Mlungu mweni kazijimiriti tambiku zakuwi. Kwa njimiru yakuwi tembera kahowiti, matendu gakuwi gankali gawera na mafundu kwa twenga.
By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, on account of which he was commended as righteous; God testifying in favor of his oblations: and so, by it, though dead he still speaks.
5 Kwa njimiru, Henoki kanyasulitwi na Mlungu, nakahowa. Kawonekaniti ndiri kayi toziya Mlungu kamnyasuliti. Pamberi pa kunyasulwa kwakuwi, Malembu Mananagala galonga kuwera yomberi kamfiliziyiti Mlungu.
By faith Enoch was translated, that he might not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him; for, before his translation, it was testified that he pleased God.
6 Pota njimiru hapeni iwezekani kumfiriziya Mlungu. Toziya kila muntu yakamgendera Mlungu, mpaka kajimiri kuwera Mlungu kapalaa na kuwera kawapanana lifupu walii yawamsakula nentu.
But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he who comes to God, must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them who diligently seek him.
7 Kwa njimiru Nuhu kaberiziwitwi na Mlungu toziya ya vitwatira vya kulongolu vyaviwonekiti ndiri. Kamjimiriti Mlungu, kanyawa safina, mlaamu kalopoziyitwi yomberi pamuhera na kaya yakuwi. Kulawirana na aga, kwa njimiru yakuwi wantu wa pasipanu watozitwi kuwera na vidoda na Nuhu kamfiriziyiti Mlungu kwa njira ya njimiru.
By faith, Noah, when he received a revelation concerning things not yet seen, being seized with religious fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 Kwa njimiru Aburahamu kamupikaniritii Mlungu pakashemitwi kagendi muisi Mlungu mekampanani iweri yakuwi. Tembera kavimana ndiri pakaweriti kankugenda, Aburahamu kawukiti.
By faith, Abraham, when called to go out into a place which he should afterward receive as an inheritance, obeyed, and went out, not knowing whither he was going.
9 Kwa njimiru kalikaliti gambira muhenga muisi Mlungu yakamlagiliti kumpanana. Kalikaliti aku mumapamanda, Isaka na Yakobu wankiti vintu viraa vilii Mlungu vyakamlagiliti Aburahamu, walikaliti mumapamanda vulaa gambira yomberi.
By faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint heirs of the same promise:
10 Toziya Aburahamu kaweriti kankuhepelera lushi lwaluwera na lyanjiru ligangamala, lushi lweni Mlungu mweni ndo yakaluholiriti na kulinyawa.
for he expected the city having foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Kwa njimiru Aburahamu kankiti makakala ga kulera tembera kaweriti mzewi na Sara mdala gwakuwi kaweriti mpendi. Toziya Aburahamu kajimiriti kuwera Mlungu yakamlagiliti kaweriti mjimirika.
By faith, also, Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth, when past the time of life; because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12 Su kulawa kwa muntu yumu ayu mweni yakapititi kala umuli wa kulera, kulawiriti wantu wavuwa gambira ntondu zya kumpindi na gambira mhanga gwa pambeku pa bahali.
And, therefore, there sprang from one who was dead, in this respect, a race, as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is on the sea-shore, innumerable.
13 Wantu woseri awa wahowiti pawawera na njimiru. Wahowiti pamberi pa kwanka vitwatira Mlungu vyakavilagiliti, kumbiti kwa kutali waviwoniti na wanemeleriti na kulonga kuwera womberi waweriti wahenga na watugira pasipanu.
All these died in faith, not having received the promises. For, seeing the things promised, afar off, and embracing them, they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims in the land.
14 Wantu yawatakula vitwatira handa avi, walanguziya paweru kuwera wankuyisakula isi yawu weni.
Now they who speak such things, plainly declare that they earnestly seek a country.
15 Handa mewayiholeri isi yawalawiti makashu, mewapati lupenyu lya kuwuya aku.
For truly, if they had remembered that from which they came out, they might have had an opportunity to return it.
16 Kumbiti vinu wafira isi yaiwera iherepa nentu, isi ya kumpindi. Su Mlungu kawona ndiri soni kushemwa Mlungu gwawu, toziya yomberi kawatandiriti kala lushi.
But, indeed, they strongly desired a better country; that is, a heavenly. Therefore, God is not ashamed of them--to be called their God; because he has prepared for them a city.
17 Kwa njimiru Aburahamu kamlaviyiti mwana gwakuwi Isaka kaweri tambiku shipindi Mlungu pakamjeriti. Aburahamu mweni ndo yakaweriti kanka shirii shakalagiliti Mlungu, kumbiti pamuhera na hangu, kajimiriti kumlaviya mwana gwakuwi gwa gweka gwa lagilu,
By faith, Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten,
18 ndomweni yakagambiritwi na Mlungu kupitira Isaka hagupati wiwuka wavuwa.
concerning whom it was said, that "In Isaac shall thy seed be called";
19 Aburahamu kavimaniti handa Mlungu kaweza kuzyukisiya yawahowiti na kwa ntambu yimonga nakaka Aburahamu kampatiti kayi mwana gwakuwi kulawa kwa yawahowiti.
reasoning that God was able to raise him even from the dead; from whence, indeed, he received him in a figure.
20 Kwa njimiru Isaka kawatekeleriti Yakobu na Esawu matekeleru gagiza shakapanu.
By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, with respect to things to come.
21 Kwa njimiru Yakobu pakaweriti sambira kahowa, kawapetera mashi kila yumu gwa wana wa Yosefu, na kamguwiriti Mlungu pakalugolokelera luhonga lyakuwi.
By faith, Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, bowing on the top of his staff.
22 Kwa njimiru Yosefu pakaweriti pakwegera kuhowa, katakuliti kulawa kwa Waisraeli muisi ya Misri, na viraa kawalekera malagaliru ntambu ya kugatenda mafupa gakuwi.
By faith, Joseph, when dying, made mention concerning the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 Kwa njimiru Musa kafifitwi na walera wakuwi kwa shipindi sha myezi mitatu pakayiwukiti. Toziya wamwoniti kuwera mwana kaherepa, womberi wavitiriti ndiri visoweru vya mfalumi.

24 Kwa njimiru Musa pakakuliti, kalemiti kushemwa mwana gwa binti gwa Farawu.
By faith, Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Kawoniti mbaka kutabika pamuhera na wantu wa Mlungu kuliku kunemelera woya ya vidoda kwa katepu hera.
choosing rather to suffer evil with the people of God, than to have the temporary fruition of sin,
26 Kavimaniti kuwera kutabika toziya ya Kristu Mlopoziya kwana mota nkulu kuliku ulunda woseri wa isi ya Misri toziya kaweriti kankulolerela lifupu lya shakapanu.
esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked forward to the retribution.
27 Kwa njimiru Musa kalawiti isi ya Misri pota na kutira maya ga mfalumi, na kawuyiti ndiri kumbeli, toziya kendereyiti kumlolerela Mlungu ulii yakawoneka ndiri.
By faith, he left Egypt, not being afraid of the wrath of the king. For he courageously persevered, as perceiving the invisible God.
28 Kwa njimiru kayitenditi Pasaka, kalagaliriti mwazi gumyatirwi pampindi pa milyangu, su ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa kulaga nakawalaga wiwuka wa kwanja wa Israeli.
By faith, he appointed the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood; that he who destroyed the first-born, might not touch them.
29 Kwa njimiru wantu wa Israeli walokiti bahali nsheri handa iweriti isi iyuma, kumbiti Wamisri pawajeriti kutenda hangu wahowiti kwa kumiruwa mumashi.

And what shall I say more? for the time would fail me, to speak of Gideon, and Barak, and Samson, and Jepthah, and David, also, and Samuel, and the prophets--
33 Kwa njimiru woseri awa wazikankiti falumi. Watenditi vitwatira vyavimfiriziyiti Mlungu, wanka galii gakalagiliti Mlungu. Wadiwa milomu ya simba,
who, through faith, subdued kingdom, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 wadoziya makakala ga myotu, washapiriti kulagwa kwa upanga, waweriti legulegu kumbiti wapatiti makakala. Waweriti wagangamala mungondu, wakankiti mashonta ga shihenga.

35 Wadala wamu wawauziliriti walongu wawu yawahowiti pawawera wakomu. Wamu wawu walema kuvugulirwa, watabisiyitwi mpaka wahowa su wapati kuzyukisiwa na kwingira mumakaliru gaherepa nentu.
Women received their dead by a resurrection, and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

And others had trial of mockings and scourgings; and, moreover of bonds and imprisonment.
37 Wagumitwi mabuwi, wapiligitwi kwa misumenu vipandi viwili. Wagendigenditi kwa kuzyengeta pawavala mikuli ya wakondolu na mikuli ya wambuzi, waweriti wantu wahushu yawatabisiyitwi na kuzulumiwa.
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they died by the slaughter of the sword, they went about in sheep skins, and in goat skins, being destitute, afflicted, maltreated;
38 Wantu wa pasipanu wafiriti ndiri kuwera na wantu awa. Wayeriyeriti kushiwala na mumigongu, walikaliti mumpanga na mumarindi.
of these the world was not worthy: they wandered in deserts, and mountains, and in caves, and holes of the earth.
39 Woseri awa wawonekaniti kuwera wakanka toziya ya njimiru yawu. Pamuhera na hangu wankiti ndiri galii Mlungu gakalagiliti,
Now, all these, though commanded on account of faith, did not receive the promise,
40 toziya Mlungu kaweriti na mpangu yaguherepa nentu toziya ya twenga, su womberi mewausegeleri ukamilika pawawera na twenga.
